I thought Jadan vs. Yugi was cool. Granted, it didn't have a proper ending but seeing two protagonists from different series duel against each other was awesome. I kind of wish that Yusei had dueled Jaden at the end of 5D's to continue the pattern, but I don't think he was mentioned nor even referenced to outside of the Bonds Beyond Time movie, which I thought was pretty mediocre for all the hype it received.

I think Phantom Darkness along with Invasion of Chaos are overrated. That's not to say that I don't use some of the cards from those sets (I love my Dark Armed Dragon and BLS), but the sets as a whole didn't spark creativity and only stagnated the game imo, so I generally consider them to be just average. I think my favorite sets are Strike of Neos because it gave Ritual monsters and Normal monsters some much-needed support, and Crossroads of Chaos because it gave us Plant support and one of my favorite Synchro monsters ever: Black Rose Dragon. I pretty much like every set to a certain extent though. I'm even a little fond of Cyberdark Impact despite its reputation as the worst Yu-Gi-Oh set ever (I'm personally fond of Snipe Hunter and Chain Strike).

Nobody I know even knows that Jaden and Yugi dueled but I bet they would have been disappointing anyways cause of the outcome I mean I didn't like it that much and I was a big fan of Yugi's duels. I think the writers shoulda given that duel three episodes instead of just two so that both duelists could use more cards and strategies. Seeing Neos attack Slifer at the end was cool tho. Do you watch Zexal too btw??

I've been thinking for the first time ever of switching decks temporarily to combat the new meta. Not sure yet, but the meta is annoying that's for sure. If I do switch, it would be to Gravekeepers with 3 Mind Crush mained!

so I have finished watching gx and watched the first ep of 5d and the question is would it be worth the time to watch the whole series. I just feel i would never get into it though I could be wrong. I might just skip it to zexal anyone here watch it and is it any good?

I don't watch Zexal anymore. I watched the first ten episodes and a few random ones after that, but I couldn't get into it. It's not that the series itself looked bad or anything; I just missed a lot of episodes and the thought of returning to the series after such a long hiatus is daunting imo. Plus if I'm being honest I don't like the protagonist. He just seems immature and too childish for my tastes, although that's probably because Yusei's seriousness is still fresh in my mind haha. I stan for Yusei.

Well I don't think it's fair to judge a series just by one episode. You should probably watch a few more episodes of 5D's and then decide whether you like it or not; personally I felt that the series didn't pick up steam until the Fortune Cup tournament, which starts at episode 15 if I remember correctly.

You should give it a shot, I really liked 5D's personally, but it just depends on your taste. I have watched every episode of Zexal so far, it's a little slow to get going and whatever you do don't skip any episodes, but it gets much better as it goes along.

ah really come on -_- i really want both of those actually i can use both...oh well my luck on that pack set is crappy...i normally pull good things but it depends on the pack...

Well here's my secret, I scale packs...it's actually really easy, if you can get yourself a small gram scale that can like fit in your pocket, then you can go to a place that just lets you grab packs on your own, ie. Walmart, Target. Super/Ultra/Ultimate/Secret rares weigh on average .1-.2 grams more than an average common or normal rare, which the scales pick up. So by scaling out packs, you can figure out the average weight of a pack, then you can see the packs that weigh more, and your odds of pulling higher rarities goes up.

There's gonna be a Yu-Gi-Oh! season 1 box set coming out in September.

Oh, it's probably going to be the dubbed version. If it had been the original Japanese version I would have saved my pennies for it, but I loathe the dub. Still, I guess it's bound to sell well simply because of the nostalgia factor. Speaking of which, you'd think they'd animate Yu-Gi-Oh! R for the same reason, but they haven't. It's annoying since I liked that manga and I really wanted to see more of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! cast. *Goes and starts a petition to have Yu-Gi-Oh! R made into an anime*

Scaling has to be done really carefully, some places actually put up security cameras near the pack of cards to prevent scaling.

In my place the packs are actually placed under/behind the counter, with the person in charge of the counter picking the pack, so you really can't choose which pack to keep, unless you buy the whole box.

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

True that's why Walmarts and Targets are nice, they really don't care, I've scaled right in front of staff there before, they really don't know, and don't care. It's not like it's illegal to do anyways lol.

So a question to all that use ygopro. Have any of you had problems with the timer? Lately My timer has been running out in about 30 seconds and to anyone who has used pro would no that isn't enough time to get any combo's going. Also in my last duel the guy I was against used a deck which basically stalled for time.He went first and it was still his first turn it looked like he was about to deck out before I had my turn and I lost because I timed out even though I didn't have a go and it was his turn. The only thing I did was decide the level of the monster for the card reasoning which they used. Anyone else having these problems?

YGOpro tends to be kinda glitchy at times i'll admit, that's why there are so many constant updates. They are trying to work out all the bugs in their systems but there's a lot to do so obviously takes a long time to do. I would say if your having problems with it, increase the time limit to 5 minutes instead of 3, maybe that will give you a little longer to work with

Actually I've done research and everywhere I've heard has said ultimates weigh about as much as a common. In fact, that was the whole reason I wanted to try using Calipers, as ultimate rares are noticeably thinner.

It also sucks because my store has gotten rid of all their individual packs, and carry only blister
